What Causes Tightness Behind The Head With Losing Balance?

Hi, I have tweaking & tight feeling in my head behind my ears continuously. Sometimes it gets very very tight behind the head right upto the neck on one side and then when it loosens up a bit I can feel some liquid moving behind my ears. When this happens I am not able to balance or look straight while standing and things get a little blurred. The state of imbalance continues for long. There are 3 main areas that get tight -- 1. Behind the right Ear.. 2. Upper part of the Nose 3. Forehead. What can this possibly be.. ??

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

as you mentioned about the balance and blurred vision along with abnormal tightness of muscles in the neck region. I will advice you to give first priority to your health and meet up a neurologist. Do not ignore the small and little signs what the body receives. remember that prevention is better than cure.

once you meet a neurologist he will be able to asses you in detail, a course of symptomatic medicine will be initiated. Also you may be asked for an MRI or CT scan. Which you please undergo as it will reveal alot more of things.

I hope you will take the wise decision.

Regards
